The chill of a brisk evening, the warmth of your favorite "red sleeve" on your loyal Starbucks cup, drops of rain tapping your windshield, the twilight of Christmas decor tucked throughout your tree, the aroma of baked goods from your candy cane clad kitchen decor...Yes folks, its the Holidays and we are ready to give you our take on intentional acts of kindness gift guide that suite all your favorites this season! 

Poetry turned to bloggers across the web for inspiration.

Where to Start?

Decorating and gift "situating" is where we shall began! Organization is pivotal when Christmas shopping for everyone on your list. Download these easy-to-use printable charts online. Organizing Made Fun's blog created three helpful files: Family, Friends, and Work peeps! Here you can sort by recipient, idea and budget! Click here to view

Once you've made your list(s), checked them twice...perhaps get to building your decor around the pad to give it a sprinkle of Christmas spirit!

Try a homemade wreath to hang on your door! Heather creator of the blog Whipper Berry created this luxurious craft with two simple fabrics: linen & an old red pillow case! This will help if you are in a time crunch to decorate and need to impress the in-laws. Get this nifty design, here.

Nothing shouts "Merry Christmas" louder than color! Adorn your home with a tasty treat. Lollipops, Gingerbread Houses, Swirl pops, gumdrops, marshmallows and jelly beans! Check out Trendy Tree.com and become inspired.

Acts of Kindness Gift Guide 2011

Anyone can give a gift. But you can turn an ordinary everyday idea into a real charmer...

The Hip-Basket

We've all made them.. a gift basket or 30, in our lives. But how about one that your receiver will be even to sentimental to unwrap! Make your basket fresh and organic. Use glass bottles, mason jars, and straw bows filled with anything that your friend or family member desires. Trail mix, almond butter, chocolate almonds, jam or coffee are all warm and thoughtful options.

The Towel

Everyone needs one. But do they have these? Monogrammed and striped, West Elm set the bar for fashion forward. For just $10 you can give someone something custom and stylish.

Classic Affection.

For the man in  your life stay true to his everyday look with a tie that will be good for work or play. Not Enough Hanger's blog brings to life trendy outfits with a genuine feel.

{Suit Supply}

Scrub-a-dub-dub..

Give the gift of non-offensive body/foot scrub, this Christmas. Not gonna lie to you- some good ol' Suave might not work for you. But this little jar of goodness will! 

Go e-How.com for their articles "How to Make Lemon Sugar Body Scrub" & "How to make Foot Scrub (with 3 recipes)"

Boots!

No winter is complete without a classic pair of boots for you, your child, or family. Everyone can use a pair and they are effortlessly convenient. How about these absolutely adorable munchkins- the burgundy scarlet fabric is bold and vibrant! To find them in your little girls' size go to Joy Folie.com

Beanie, baby.

Your little man, your best friend and especially your snowboarding hubby could use a beanie this winter! Step out to your Target, Sport's Authority or boutique to find the most creative on the shelf!

The walking stache!

While you aimlessly roam the walls of your holiday party after a few shots (just to let loose!) Why not treat yourself and co-workers to handful of funny?! If this isn't your own personal photo booth, we don't know what is. 

Simply buy Mustache Stikrz from Etsy.com and place on your favorite beverage glass. From shot glass to sippy cup (we said it!) you can do quite a few hillarious takes with these!

The Coffee Table Book.

Everyone needs one (unless you have a child under 3 who may like to :rip: the pages, in this case, move to our next gift of choice!)

Tables are boring, but a hardcover book titled: Christian Louboutin for your lady is keen and romantic. (One more thing, remember..she likes SHOES and well this MEANS you remembered the brand, too!) Look no further than the blog Hello Giggles  for other fashionista covers that might strike a pose.

Kindle, Kindly

The top shelf of readers. Kindle is the #1 selling product on Amazon.com This gift is IDEAL for anyone who likes a good book.. really anyone! If you haven't already seen the ads, they start @ $79.00, perfect for a thoughtful and memorable present.

iPad gone Wild!

Try something for anyone who is into geekery, nostalgia or likes something out of the norm. This Etch A Sketch iPad cover can be found on Perpetual Kid.com  for $39.99!

That's a Wrap!

Remember, presentation is everything. Use reasonable and crafty goods to wrap your presents this Christmas. Some good ol' butcher paper and stamps can add a hearty appearance. Want to "wow" your significant other? How about personalizing their gift? We are sure you are bound to get a lot in return!

And when it's all said and done...snuggle up in your favorite "jammys", pour yourself a warm cup of hot cocoa, and cheers to the next year of memories, friends and giving!

With Love,

Your true blue.. Poetry Booths
